With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following
Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox
or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)
kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000
Call Trace:
preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60
_raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60
put_super+0x31/0x40
drop_super+0x22/0x30
prune_super+0x149/0x1b0
shrink_slab+0xba/0x510
The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.
The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for
THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not
backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this
is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm:
remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing
out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

Commit 7b540d0646ce ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with
grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode
directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for
@vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings
the test back.
The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped
(which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular
kernels.
The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.

Instead of having the getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE return an index, which
will then require another call like if_indextoname() to get the actual interface
name, have it return the name directly.
This also matches the existing man page description on socket(7) which mentions
the argument being an interface name.
If the value has not been set, zero is returned and optlen will be set to zero
to indicate there is no interface name present.
Added a seqlock to protect this code path, and dev_ifname(), from someone
changing the device name via dev_change_name().
v2: Added seqlock protection while copying device name.
v3: Fixed word wrap in patch.

GMAC devices newer than databook 3.40 has an embedded timer
that can be used for mitigating the number of interrupts.
So this patch adds this optimizations.
At any rate, the Rx watchdog can be disable (on bugged HW) by
passing from the platform the riwt_off field.
In this implementation the rx timer stored in the Reg9 is fixed
to the max value. This will be tuned by using ethtool.
V2: added a platform parameter to force to disable the rx-watchdog
for example on new core where it is bugged.
V3: do not disable NAPI when Rx watchdog is used.
V4: a new extra statistic field has been added to show the early
receive status in the interrupt handler.
This patch also adds an extra check to avoid to call
napi_schedule when the DMA_INTR_ENA_RIE bit is disabled in the
Interrupt Mask register.

This patch adds a new schema used for mitigating the
number of transmit interrupts.
It is based on a SW timer and a threshold value.
The timer is used to periodically call the stmmac_tx_clean
function; the threshold is used for setting the IC (Interrupt
on Completion bit). The ISR will then invoke the poll method.
Also the patch improves some ethtool stat fields.
V2: review the logic to manage the IC bit in the TDESC
that was bugged because it didn't take care about the
fragments. Also fix the tx_count_frames that has not to be
limited to TX DMA ring. Thanks to Ben Hutchings.
V3: removed the spin_lock irqsave/restore as D. Miller suggested.

There's really no excuse for an additional wmem_default of buffering
between the netdev queue and the ATM device. Two packets (one in-flight,
and one ready to send) ought to be fine. It's not as if it should take
long to get another from the netdev queue when we need it.
If necessary we can make the queue space configurable later, but I don't
think it's likely to be necessary.
cf. commit 9d02daf754238adac48fa075ee79e7edd3d79ed3 (pppoatm: Fix
excessive queue bloat) which did something very similar for PPPoATM.
Note that there is a tremendously unlikely race condition which may
result in qspace temporarily going negative. If a CPU running the
br2684_pop() function goes off into the weeds for a long period of time
after incrementing qspace to 1, but before calling netdev_wake_queue()...
and another CPU ends up calling br2684_start_xmit() and *stopping* the
queue again before the first CPU comes back, the netdev queue could
end up being woken when qspace has already reached zero.
An alternative approach to coping with this race would be to check in
br2684_start_xmit() for qspace==0 and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, but just
using '> 0' and '< 1' for comparison instead of '== 0' and '!= 0' is
simpler. It just warranted a mention of *why* we do it that way...
Move the call to atmvcc->send() to happen *after* the accounting and
potentially stopping the netdev queue, in br2684_xmit_vcc(). This matters
if the ->send() call suffers an immediate failure, because it'll call
br2684_pop() with the offending skb before returning. We want that to
happen *after* we've done the initial accounting for the packet in
question. Also make it return an appropriate success/failure indication
while we're at it.
Tested by running 'ping -l 1000 bottomless.aaisp.net.uk' from within my
network, with only a single PPPoE-over-BR2684 link running. And after
setting txqueuelen on the nas0 interface to something low (5, in fact).
Before the patch, we'd see about 15 packets being queued and a resulting
latency of ~56ms being reached. After the patch, we see only about 8,
which is fairly much what we expect. And a max latency of ~36ms. On this
OpenWRT box, wmem_default is 163840.

Commit 82167cb8c6b2f8166d5c7532e5ef4b5e0cc46a72 ('net: dsa/slave: Fix
compilation warnings') fixed one possible invalid configuration
(NET_DSA enabled with no trailer formats) but added others: drivers
can select NET_DSA without its dependencies being met.
It's not very useful to make either the DSA core or the tagging
formats manually selectable without a driver to use them, so:
1. Define a hidden HAVE_NET_DSA option and move the dependencies of
NET_DSA to that. While we're at it, drop the deprecated
EXPERIMENTAL dependency.
2. Make NET_DSA and the drivers dependent on HAVE_NET_DSA.
3. Hide the tagging format options again.
4. Make drivers select both NET_DSA and the appropriate tagging format
option.

Felix Liao reported that when an interface is set DOWN
while another interface is executing a ROC, the warning
in ieee80211_start_next_roc() (about the first item on
the list having started already) triggers.
This is because ieee80211_roc_purge() calls it even if
it never actually changed the list of ROC items. To fix
this, simply remove the function call. If it is needed
then it will be done by the ieee80211_sw_roc_work()
function when the ROC item that is being removed while
active is cleaned up.

Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT)
using the control channel frequency (as before) and
new attributes for the channel width and first and
second center frequency. The old channel type is of
course still supported for HT.
Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct
to support these by adding the relevant fields to
it (and removing the _type field.)
This also adds new helper functions:
- cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def
struct given the control channel and channel type,
- cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel
definitions are identical
- cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given
channel definitions are compatible, and return the
wider of the two
This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter
until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's
missing
- regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that
even makes sense)
- regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it)
- a proper channel compatibility calculation for the
new channel types

Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type
to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel
definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just
the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this
will change.
Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so
that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the
new structure all the time, which will change.

As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the
only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel
with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it.
This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
right now.
Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
by removing the ability to use different channel types.
Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
we extend it again later (with the needed capability
flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

If ieee80211_prep_channel() decides that HT should be
disabled (because the HT IEs from the AP were invalid)
it will set the IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_HT to not send
HT capabilities to the AP when associating. If this
happens during authentication, the flag will be lost
and we send HT frames, even if the channel config was
set up for non-HT. This can lead to issues.
Fix this by always resetting the ifmgd flags to zero
when the channel context is released so that the flag
resetting in ieee80211_mgd_assoc() isn't necessary.
To make the code a bit easier move the call to release
the channel in ieee80211_set_disassoc() to the end of
the function together with the flag resetting (which
needs to be at the end to avoid timers setting flags.)
